CamJam 2027
Get ready for an unforgettable week of adventure, friendship, and discovery as we bring together over 3,000 Scouts, Guides and volunteers from across the UK and beyond.
We already know you love camping, supporting and developing young people, the chance to meet new people and visit other countries.
If you would like a great opportunity to combine all of these, we want to hear from you. We would like to offer our young people more choice in summer camps. Groups of around 40 young people and 4 to 6 adults taking part in an international experience to build their confidence or gain top awards.
This is what our young people have to say from previous events;
I would recommend a BSO Jamboree because…
“It’s AMAZING! It’s been the best experience I've had in my life, really well organised” -Morgan, Paris Explorers
“I think it's an experience to meet people that you will remember for the rest of your life from other countries” – Fernanda, Madrid Scouts
“It’s the BEST experience in my life” – Marcos, Madrid Explorers
“It was a great way to meet new people and try new things and have freedom” – Elizabeth, Dubai Scouts
“I loved it, I made so many new friends that I have kept in contact with after camp that I really enjoyed it. Also, I believe that it was a good experience to be away from parents for a long time” – Alex, Dubai Explorers
“You’ll have fun, new experiences, meet new people & learn new sports like sailing” – Kumail, Dubai Explorers
“It was a great experience and it was a pleasure to be able to meet with multiple internationally based scouts in one place while participating in fun activities” - Ethan, Doha Scouts
“It’s really fun, a great experience in general, you meet people from everywhere which is something you get nowhere else” - Lieve, Paris Scouts
These our the current opportunities, we are happy to hear from you if you have other ideas as well;

I'm delighted to share the news that Theo Lasar has been appointed as our BSO Youth Lead. Theo will succeed Charlotte, who has given outstanding service as our BSO Youth Lead since 2022, at our AGM during Gilwell Reunion in September. Theo brings has a background of scouting within BSO having started as a Beaver in Telstar, going through all the sections locally in Luxembourg before joining Scout Network last year. On his appointment Theo says, "Having served as Deputy District Youth Lead for Northern Europe over the past year, I have had the opportunity to work alongside District Youth Teams, volunteers and, most importantly, Young People across BSO. As BSO Youth Lead, I look forward to building on that experience by working with the Leadership Team, District Youth Teams and Young People across the Area to continue strengthening youth-shaped Scouting and creating more opportunities for young people to shape their own Scouting experience." The BSO Youth Lead role helps to champion youth voice across Scouts, lead our Youth Team across BSO and contributes to BSO-level decision making as a member of our BSO Leadership Team and BSO Board of Trustees.. The role also supports us to deliver our strategic priorities, and we're confident Theo is the best person to help us do this. He is passionate about giving all young people a place to belong, delivering our strategy to 2035. We're incredibly thankful for everything Charlotte has done for BSO during her term in the role and look forward to celebrating her achievements in the future. We wish Theo every success in his new role Graham Eden BSO Lead Volunteer
